Armadillo: Thursday's six-pack

Some NFL trends with Week 15 upon us…….

— Rams are 1-6-2 vs spread in their last nine games.

— Minnesota covered nine of last ten games as a home favorite.

— Browns are 0-6-1 vs spread in their last seven games.

— Philadelphia is 2-8 vs spread in its last ten games.

— 49ers are 2-10 vs spread in their last twelve games.

— Green Bay is 15-7 in last 22 games as an NFC North road favorite.

**********

Armadillo: Thursday's List of 13: Bottom 5, top 8 in NFL

32) Browns— Two weeks from now, will they have an idea of who their QB of the future is? If not, what did they accomplish this season?

31) 49ers— Were outscored 39-0 in second half of last two games, vs Bears/Jets, when 49ers were favored to win both games.

30) Jaguars— I wish the Rams had their receivers; seriously, they’re not bad. Unsure why they’ve got such a poor record.

29) Rams— Can’t blame the coach anymore; he’s gone. Now it is on the players; the next coach is going to dump a lot of them, too. How they play in the next three games will help decide who stays and who goes.

28) Bears— Playing football when it is one degree outside can’t be much fun.

8) Steelers— Pittsburgh has had three head coaches since 1969. Think about that.

7) Buccaneers– Tampa Bay and Tennessee are both doing well this year with 2nd-year QB’s. Bucs jump into the national spotlight Sunday night.

6) Giants— Ethical question of the day: if you’re a football coach and a friend of yours wants to give you the game plan for this week’s opponent, do you take it? Apparently this may have happened down at Wake Forest.

5) Seahawks— I’m guessing Seattle thought they’d get a hell of a lot more competition in their own division than they did this season.

4) Raiders— Would be sad if this week is the last time the Raiders ever play in San Diego.

3) Chiefs— They’re not a great #3 team but they don’t make mistakes and they swept Oakland.

2) Cowboys— Dallas is 11-2, having a great year but if they lose to the Bucs Sunday, all hell is going to break loose and a QB controversy will exist.

1) Patriots— Hopefully Josh McDaniels will go to Jacksonville and the Rams hire the Shanahan family. I’m skeptical of anyone made wealthy by Tom Brady— Rams don’t have a Brady.
